MWH 187 : Turning A Food Blog Into Her Business with Vanya Insull of VJ Cooks

Entrepreneurship should be fun! Can you imagine what would happen if we all took ourselves less seriously? What content would you put out into the world that you actually have fun creating? Would this lead you to turning your “hobby” into your actual business?

That’s what happened for today’s podcast guest who put a video onto her Facebook Page just for fun… It was only when she uploaded another recipe video that went viral with 50K views in just three days, that Vanya Insull, of VJ Cooks, knew she could monetise her recipes.

“I kind of did the food blogging backwards because I had my Facebook Page first, then I had so much demand for the recipes that I had to create a website to store them on.”

This insane demand could be your reality, too, if you just had a little fun, put something out there, and saw if it stuck!

I have the pleasure of mentoring Vanya within my private academy The Social Method Society. She is a recipe queen who is always keen to explore new ways to market her business online. Vanya is a Kiwi mum of two young boys, living in NZ. She is an amazing food blogger who loves to share family friendly recipes with her social media following.

During this episode, Vanya is sharing with us how she has been able to grow such a loyal and engaged following on Facebook and Instagram. Plus, Vanya is a content goddess who is repurposing her blog content to save time and work efficiently!
